Fontaine-le-Comte Flea Market and Plant Swap
21st flea market and 12th plant swap by La Festive
About Fontaine-le-Comte Flea Market
A spring favourite of the Poitiers agglomeration
Fontaine-le-Comte is a commune of about 3,700 inhabitants in Grand Poitiers agglomeration, west of the Vienne prefecture. Each early June, association La Festive runs its now-emblematic double event: a flea market (21st edition) paired with a plant swap (12th edition). For 2026: Sunday 1 June 2026, 7am-6pm, Parc Niki-de-Saint-Phalle.
An original complementary duo
The combination of classic flea market and plant swap makes this event unique. Flea market early morning: usual formula (private sellers, bric-a-brac, clothes, toys, crockery, books, small furniture), €2 per linear metre. Plant swap free: bring seedlings, cuttings, seeds to share with fellow gardeners. Friendly atmosphere, advice exchange.
Parc Niki-de-Saint-Phalle, exceptional setting
Named after the artist, one of Fontaine-le-Comte's finest green spaces. Lawn and leafy aisles offer ideal framing for this day of chine and horticultural exchange. 10 min from Poitiers centre, nearby parking.
What to find
- Flea market: private sellers, bric-a-brac, clothes, toys, books, crockery

La Festive, local engine
La Festive is one of Fontaine-le-Comte's most active associations. Year-round events: flea/plant swap in spring, Apple festival in autumn, Christmas market in December, others. The June event is clearly its flagship.
Monastic history in a modern agglomeration
Fontaine-le-Comte owes its name to the abbey that historically marked the town. The Logis abbatial (abbey lodge) still stands. The commune evolved into a residential part of Poitiers agglomeration while keeping heritage charm and village identity. Rich cultural and sports facilities.
